"A Jungle Circus" recounts Mike Towers's experiences as a conscripted Australian soldier during the Vietnam War. Far from a dry, historical account, this book is a humorous and compassionate look at the realities of war, as seen through the eyes of an Aussie Digger. Towers's narrative doesn't shy away from the serious side of conflict, but it emphasises the dark humour soldiers used to cope with the dire boredom and utter chaos of their situation. This memoir follows his 24 months of service and the struggles adjusting to life back home. It’s a story for veterans, their families, and anyone interested in Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War.
